The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum Saturday February 8th 11:00AM. Duesenberg J-209 and the Race to Preserve Pittsburgh’s Black History Landmark

Join the ACDA Museum for an engaging presentation on Duesenberg J-209 and its original owner, Woogie Harris, a prominent businessman in 1930s Pittsburgh. Known for his lavish parties that often featured surprise celebrity guests, Woogie’s residence—“Mystery Manor”—became a cultural hotspot. He also generously rented the upper floors of his home to the National Negro Opera Company, fostering the arts within the community.

As Mystery Manor, located at 7101 Apple Street, undergoes significant restoration, the museum invites you to explore Woogie Harris’s contributions and the ongoing efforts to preserve this historic Black landmark in Pittsburgh.

Guest Speakers: Jonnett Solomon, Executive Director and a founding member of the National Opera House in Pittsburgh and Dawn Carroll, an award-winning designer, writer, and producer from Boston. Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of Songs for Mary, a soundtrack album inspired by the stories of Mary Dawson, renowned musicians, and other visitors to Mystery Manor. All Curatorial Spotlights are included with museum admission.

Howard passed this on regarding the Newport Hill Climb.
